There was an earlier posting here on the Cruisers’ Net about dinghy dockage which has recently become available on the waters of Tarpon Basin at the Government Center (/dinghy-dockage-now-available-at-tarpon-basin-anchorage). Buttonwood Sound, the subject of the Captain Trachtenberg’s message, lies a bit farther south on the Florida Keys Inside/ICW/Florida Bay route.
The anchorage referred to below is termed the “Buttonwood Sound’“Sunset Cove Anchorage” in the Net’s “Florida Keys Anchorage Directory.”

We usually use the dinghy dock at Snooks restaurant/bar, which is on Buttonwood Sound, between red 54 and green 55. The approximate coordinates of the anchorage are 25 5.7 N – 80 26.733 W. The dock is available to customers if you want to eat or have some drinks (latter recommended, former … not so much). Otherwise there’s a (sort of) boat ramp directly to the right of the dinghy dock where you can tie up to the mangroves and walk in. Nice central location.
